Promotional Map of Logan County, Oklahoma Territory
Rare separately published map of Logan County, Oklahoma, promoting the State Capital Printing Company and The Oklahoma Weekly.
The map delineates Logan County as it was surveyed in the late 19th Century when Guthrie was the capital of the territory. The inset of the State Capital Printing Company's building is adorned with the American flag, a striking advertisement for this frontier printer.
At a time when Oklahoma was on the cusp of statehood, this map offers a visual account of land allotment according to the Public Land Survey System. The precision with which the township and range lines are drawn reflects the methodical approach to land division that was essential for the orderly settlement and administration of the region.
The map's depiction of the State Capital Printing Company, promoting its status as a printer and publisher within the community and the broader Southwest, provides insight into the economic and social fabric of early Oklahoma.
